The Black Tea Group (HU)

About

The Black Tea Group is an underground jazz band formed by students from the jazz department of the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest; the four young musicians have been playing together in this lineup for a couple of years. Their repertoire draws primarily on the early days of avant-garde jazz, which at that time was associated with a very different image than it is today: it was considered a vibrant, energetic genre. However, the quartet is also drawn to drum’n’bass grooves, folk music elements, or even free jazz influences – in addition to their own compositions, they will perform jazz standards and folk song arrangements at this concert.
